The new fenders have a curvature on the top that matches the curvature on the corners of the new header panel.

97-up header panel and fenders are roundish at the top. 96-down are angled.
You can bolt on the newer panel by itself, but there will be a gap at the back side of the upper sides of the panel.
IMO, why not do it all? The front of the newer fenders only come down to the bottom of the panel, so no need to trim them.
